Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Homme Parfum
An icon of masculine perfumery, Dior Homme Parfum envelops you in rich iris, plush leather, and creamy sandalwood. For the modern gentleman who craves serious elegance and unapologetic presence.
Acquired
Our Verdict - For Men Imperial EDP
Lavender and iris over cardamom, amber and a dry leather-vetiver base. The most severe fragrance in the range and the one that most clearly aims at a formal, cold-weather register.

Season and Occasion Fit

Homme

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

The dense, powdery iris, leather, and sandalwood give it excellent projection and warmth, making it ideal for fall and winter. Its richness and sophistication also suit the cool freshness of early spring but can be overwhelming in summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its opulent, powdery-leathery character and strong presence make it perfect for formal events and romantic evenings, but a bit too commanding for the office or sports. Casual wear is possible for those seeking to make a refined statement.

For Men Imperial

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Leather, patchouli, vetiver and amber are dense cold-weather materials, and the lavender turns bitter rather than refreshing in heat. It belongs to autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office

The dry leather and vetiver base gives it the gravity of a formal evening scent, and it is a natural fit with tailoring. It is too serious for casual daytime wear and completely wrong for sport.
